Today on your bFM Breakfast: It's Friday Prize day, with plenty of goodies to go round; Fabian Fanboy's in the studio reviewing It: Chapter Two; Dr. Kirsten Zemke takes a trip to the land of Jam Bands; and Zoë and Freya talk exciting theatre on the horizon. Good times.
This week we talked to Pita Turei about neglected histories, art, ballet, Ihumātao and his recent artist talk, at dawn, on top of the Waitakere Ranges. We also talked to Kiri McGuire about her glass Taonga Pūoro (musical instruments), her recovery from major injury, and the role art has played in that journey, and her ongoing art practice. McGuire has recently made work with the NZ Army, and also has work at Lovebucket on Karangahape Rd.
